When You Came

Bitiw o Hataw

Jeron came home and his wife sleeping soundly. He just slept beside her and hugged her tight thinking of the days he was away.

Alyssa woke up to a warm embrace and that familiar manly scent that she knows very well. He was asleep like a baby. She decided to get up and let him continue sleeping.

Alyssa's POV

Kawawa naman ang hubby ko. I know jet lag ang dahilan ng pagod na yan. He needs to sleep more. I kissed him in the forehead and changed into something appropriate for jogging.

I told our helper to prepare Jeron's favorite for breakfast. Tatakbo lang ako sandali para magpapawis mahirap na baka tumaba ako nito.

I plugged my earphones and listened to the songs in my playlist. I didn't know I was speeding up until someone held me in the shoulder.

Alyssa: huh?!

I took my earphones away and saw Kiefer grinning like crazy.

Alyssa: anong problema mo?

Kiefer: ang bilis mo naman tumakbo di tuloy kita nahabol agad.

Alyssa: I was listening to something. Sorry. Anong kailangan mo?

Kiefer: Aly naman. Parang di naman tayo naging magkaibigan. Makikitakbo lang sana ako with you.

Alyssa: ok maluwag naman ang kalsada ng village na to. free country naman to. So sige tumakbo ka.

Kiefer: hahahaha nakakatawa ka pa rin talaga. Naaalala ko tuloy gano ka kalampa.

Alyssa: hoy hindi ako lampa ano. Tyaka layuan mo nga ako baka makita tayo ng asawa ko.

Kiefer: ang OA naman nito. Tumatakbo lang tayo at wala tayong ginagawang masama.

Alyssa: oh eh di baka makita tayo ng girlfriend mo.

Kiefer: Wala akong girlfriend. May minahal ako noon actually siya pa rin hanggang ngayon.

Alyssa: ah sige Kief unahan na kita baka gising na si Jeron.

Ayan na naman. Nagpapalipad hangin nanaman si Kiefer. Nahihirapan ako pag ganito kami kalapit sa isa't isa. Ewan ko. I'm not comfortable.

Days went by and I often see him sa village. Nagkakasabay pa kami na pumunta sa clubhouse minsan oh di kaya sa meeting ng home owners fortunately Jeron isn't always around.

Kiefer's POV

Hindi ko naman sinadadya pero palagi talaga kaming nagkikita sa mga event. Maliit ang mundong iniikotan namin so I guess this is normal.

I saw her sa Ateneo, I think nakiki practice din siya sa AWVT. She was now sitting sa bench and i approached her. I had gatorade with me, mukhang uhaw to eh.

Kiefer: Aly. Nandito ka rin pala. Oh eto inumin mo.

Alyssa: salamat ha. Nakiki practice ka rin?

Kiefer: oo eh. Di ko mahindi-an. Ly I know this sounds inappropriate but can we atleast be friends?

Alyssa: wala naman problema sakin yun Kief. Magkaibigan naman tayo noon pa diba? I don't see any problem with that.
I guess we need to patch things up. May pa dinner kami ni Jeron sa bahau punta ka mamaya na yun.

Kiefer: sige pag iisipan ko.

If it was a different situation I wouldnt really doubt in going. Pero magkikita kami ni Jeron. Baka ano nanaman mangyari magka eskandalo pa.

Then the evening came and I was walking around the village. Iniisip ko kung pupunta ba ako when a car stopped beside me.

....: Kiefer.

Kiefer: ah... ehh. JERON.

Jeron: aren't you going sa house? I believe Aly invited you. Sabay ka na sa 'kin.

Kiefer: ah sige sige.

I didn't know bakit ako inimbita ng taong to at bakit din naman ako sumakay. I don't know.
